Beautiful Vintage Venetian Glass Basket From Early Mid-20th Century Italy
Lovely Venetian glass basket with old sticker on base; “Genuine Venetian Glass Made in Murano Italy”. The maker’s sticker is a generic label used in the 1940’s to 1960’s. The sticker is not directly attributed to one of the infamous mid-century Italian Murano glass masters, but this lovely vintage Venetian glass basket came from one of their studios.
Hand-made in plum amethyst crystal with richly defined diamond pillow optic decor and applied colorless reeded handle and ruffled rim and base. Gold leaf is spattered throughout the colorless glass. The rim, handle and base ruffle were applied to the optic basket. Well-made by a fine artist.
In perfect condition. Measures 7½” tall, 7.75″ long, and 5.25″ wide. For the luxurious Easter basket! Eye-catching vintage venetian glass basket with multiple uses; flowers, fruit, business cards, etc.
